Singular spectral shift function for Schrödinger operators (1608.04184v2)

Published 15 Aug 2016 in math.SP, math-ph, and math.MP

Abstract: Let $H_0 = -\Delta + V_0(x)$ be a Schroedinger operator on $L_2(\mathbb{R}\nu),$ $\nu=1,2,$ or 3, where $V_0(x)$ is a bounded measurable real-valued function on $\mathbb{R}\nu.$ Let $V$ be an operator of multiplication by a bounded integrable real-valued function $V(x)$ and put $H_r = H_0+rV$ for real $r.$ We show that the associated spectral shift function (SSF) $\xi$ admits a natural decomposition into the sum of absolutely continuous $\xi{(a)}$ and singular $\xi{(s)}$ SSFs. This is a special case of an analogous result for resolvent comparable pairs of self-adjoint operators, which generalises the known case of a trace class perturbation while also simplifying its proof. We present two proofs -- one short and one long -- which we consider to have value of their own. The long proof along the way reframes some classical results from the perturbation theory of self-adjoint operators, including the existence and completeness of the wave operators and the Birman-Krein formula relating the scattering matrix and the SSF. The two proofs demonstrate the equality of the singular SSF with two a priori different but intrinsically integer-valued functions: the total resonance index and the singular $\mu$-invariant.
